    AbstractAlthough relatively few studies have compared US guidance with established "blind" techniques, the available evidence suggests that the use of US guidance is a safe and effective way to facilitate correct needle placement and adequate spread of LA for abdominal wall nerve blocks. It improves block effectiveness and safety by reducing LA doses and by detecting anatomic variants or unsuspected pathologies. Different techniques are described and discussed: the transverse abdominal nerve blocks, the paraombilical block, the inguinal field block and the fascia transversalis block. Matched with improving technology, the use of US has significant benefits over conventional techniques to perform classic and new abdominal wall nerve blocks in children. However, more studies are required to evaluate the potential of US to support this finding.Copyright © 2011 Société française d’anesthésie et de réanimation (Sfar). Published by Elsevier SAS.
